Seattle friends! I may not be able to make it to WA for this holiday season, but one of my little Stock’s Vampire Bat Skull originals is, as part of the Holiday Mini Art Exhibit at the every-lovely Ghost Gallery.

All layers done ✨️
The dualliste is a bit too wobbly with all layers spaced out (more than Lune, surprisingly), I'll need to glue his sword against something to keep him steady. Other than that, very pleased with this!

Ok this is fully delightful - Hans Christian Anderson loved to entertain people while telling his stories by simultaneously hand-cutting decorative paper art

persephonebooks.co.uk/blogs/the-pe...
a square piece of pale cream paper on a green background which has been charmingly hand-cut out to show dancing people, feathers, small mushrooms and smiling faces. Sadly some of the dancing men have 'chinese' hats on, which the artist must not have realized was racist. The style is turn of the 19-20th century.
